Sam: Well, your hard-luck story gave me the incentive to offer some advice: To wit:
Hie yourself off to the local library and bone up on engines, etc. There is lots of stuff to keep you from making the same mistakes over and over.
Then,take somebody older and more experienced than you to go look at what you are thinking of buying! And, if they say "don't buy it!", take their advice. Remember: If the price seems too good to be true--it usually isn't good!
All-thread is usually made from mild steel! It isn't suitable for high stress applications, it will not hold up. Which is why your fix failed, probably.
Go see some older mechanics for bolts, etc. when you have to repair an item in the tractor line. Hardware store bolts aren't suitable for engine repair, either. you need higher tensile strength bolts and fasteners for engine work.
So, get off the couch, go read up on stuff, keep a wary eye on the bargains, ask for advice and help, and you can try to avoid being "ripped off" the next time! At the least, you're learning how to avoid a scam!
Good luck: Rusty Jones
